Yaya!

Yaya! Today my DD made two steps in the right direction. This moring I put DD in her swing & usually I turn on the music and mobile just so she has something to listen too. Well today I did the same, but this time, DD actually found the mobile! She was "watching" it move around & seem fascinated. This is the first time she's ever done this & let me tell you I've been waiting! Also, I put her on her Tummy Time Surfboard Mat for the first time today. I've noticed within the last couple of days that she has been trying to lift her head up a little awhile relaxing on mine or my DH chest. After I laid her down, it took a little while, but she lifted up her head & turned it to the other side! I know these may seem like small things, but to me, they are HUGE. I've been watching her so closely to see how far behind she is from her actual age, that when I saw her doing these things for the first time today, it made me feel a little better about how she is progressing. I just had to share my good news with someone & I thought you ladies would understand! Thanks!!

Those milestones are huge!  Way to go!

I think everyone on this board can understand why those little things are huge milestones and make our day!  Definitely keep encouraging that tummy time!  Once DD started doing that, it's like walls were broken down for her!  She's now well on her way to sitting up!  One thing that really helped DD with lifting her head while on her tummy was to put a mirror below her face.  She would see the reflection and lift her head to get a better look!  Yay for preemie milestones!
